Yellow is the new Black

This season black has not made the cut; instead we seem to be moving onto brighter colours like yellow. Before you start fretting, your neutrals are still current and on-trend, and shouldn’t be discarded from your wardrobe.

However, yellow shades should definitely be prioritised, after actresses and artists have been seen proudly sporting the colour, like Emma Stone in ‘La La Land’ and Beyoncé strutting away in ‘Hold Up’. This has led to a huge boots in sales with everything in mustard to sunshine yellow sky rocket this season.

Whether you’ve seen stores launching feature products, or you’ve been bombarded on social media, I can guarantee you’ve seen the rise in yellow as a trend. To make it easier for you, I’ve compiled all my favourite pieces from fashion high-street retailers.

Scarves:

Throw it back to the 90’s with the Leandenhall check scarf; if this doesn’t make you think of the iconic ‘Clueless’ outfit that Cher wore then we can’t be friends. Not only does this scarf have a heritage-chic vibe, it also brings an edgy statement piece to your outfit with the featured fringe edges and oversized blanket effect. Couple with a leather jacket to compile the perfect autumn day outfit.

Jackets:

A biker jacket is a must-have all year round, so bring a bit of sunshine to the dark autumn mornings with Bershka’s mustard faux-leather jacket. This is perfect for autumn while still being warm enough to wear a lighter leather instead of your big winter jacket. Team this with a scarf and matching hat and you’re ready for uni, or any day out.

Trousers:

Paperbag style clothing is one of the biggest features this season. This unique style is suitable for any figure type as it pulls you in at the waist, and grazes your ankle to give the appearance of longer legs, making it very flattering. PrettyLittleThing has combined paperbag style and mustard yellow to give you a fashion-forward pair of trousers perfect for any night out.

Playsuits:

Channel your inner Beyoncé with this dark yellow ruffle playsuit. With a plunge neck, long sleeves, cut out back and a feminine falling ruffle finish, you too can be as fashion fierce as Queen B herself. Match with this a black biker jacket, heeled boots, diamond choker for an edgy finish to a bold outfit.

Camis:

A cami top is the easiest option for university, a meal out, cocktails, or a night out. Missguided’s satin slip cami top in mustard yellow has adjustable straps and a knot detail front. A perfect addition to everyone’s wardrobe, it’ll accentuate your cleavage and the knot feature will cover your stomach (and your food baby). Team with skinny jeans and bold accessories to tie the outfit together while accentuating the satin finish of the top.

TeddyJumpers:

Sweater season is upon us, which means it’s time for comfort and fluffy jumpers. The Urban Outfitters Sparkle & Fade Teddy Mock Neck Jumper is available in dark yellow or red.

Urban Outfitters describe this jumper as the ultimate cosy-cool vibe, with it’s long line mock-neck and long sleeves creating the perfect relaxation outfit that can be worn with anything. You don’t have to try too hard to make yellow work in your outfit!
